I hope this is the right place to ask this, and appologise if it's
not. I'm trying to install 2.6.5 in Win98 se final. It says "a
required dll could not be run". Do I have to upgrade my whole OS just
to install this, or is there a fix I can apply to 98 to make it work.
The installer doesn't say what dll is missing, just that it is.

Thanks in advance.

Python 2.6 is not supported on Windows 98 and earlier. You need at least
Windows 2000 with a recent service pack.

So your response is either, you don't know if there is a fix, or 'No
way in h377.' You couldn't figure out by my post that I already knew
that?

Let me paraphrase my answer:

You can't run Python 2.6 on Windows 98 because we have dropped support
for any Windows older than Windows 2000 SP4. It's documented at
http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.6.html#port-specific-changes-windows ,
too.

Yes, I get that. So your answer is... You have no idea as to weather
there is a workaround, or a fix, or patch or anything that would help.
right? I don't consider buying an OS to be a valid workaround.

Thanks
